TOWN COUNCIL MEETING-
Athletic Park Leased—Ordinance Repealed,
—Other Business.
The Town Council held its regular
monthly meeting Thursday night.
President Kocher and all the mem
bers excepting Richardson were
present :
The meeting was called to order
and the minutes of the last meeting
read and approved.
Rishton of the Fire and Water com
mittee reported that the new appara
tus for the Rescue Company was here,
and had been placed in the Com
pany's house.
Supplee, of the Finance Committee
made a report, showing the work of
the committee. He stated that the
Hennesy matter had all been settled.
A petition was presented to Coun
cil by C. C. Yetter, asking for a cross
ing over Market Street at North side
of Fourth. Referred to street com
mittee.
The following lease concerning
Athletic Park was then read
Whereas, at a meeting of the
Town Council of the Town of Blooms
burg, Pa., held at their hall on the
nth day of January, A. D., I*B9B, it
was resolved to lease 10 the Athletic
Park Association, the Town Park,
located between Seventh and Eight
and Market and Centre Streets, for a
term of five years, upon certain terms
and conditions
Now, therefore, this agreement
made and concluded this Eighth day
of February, A. D., 1898, between
the said Town, lessor, and the Athle
tic Park Association aforesaid, lessee,
that for and in considera
tion of the convenants and terms here
inafter mentioned and reserved (and
on the part of the said lessee to be
kept and performed,) hath demised,
leased and let, and by these presents
doth demise, lease and let unto the
said lessee, and said Park to be used
for base ball, foot ball, and other inno
cent and legitimate athletic sports.
And the said lessee hereby agrees
to plant a row of Carolina Poplar and
Elm trees of good size, along the
Center Street side of the said Park on
the outside of the pavement, also to
replace such trees as have been here
tofore planted and are not growing
along the north side of the said Park
on the inside of the fence when lease
expires. The said trees to be set
under the direction of the Town en
gineer, twenty feet apart and to be
boxed. The fence to be kept in
good order by the said lessee, and the
trees to be properly trimmed and
cared for by the said lessor. The
work of planting trees and putting
the Park in proper condition to be
fully completed under the direction of
the Town Engineer before June Ist,
1898; otherwise this lease to be void
and of no effect. And the said lessee
shall and will at the expiration of the
said term of five years surrender and
deliver up quiet and peaceable posses
sion of the said Park without notice
ONE OF TWO WAYS.
The bladder was created for one
purpose, namely, a receptacle for the
urine, and as such it is not liable to
any form of disease except by one of
two ways. The first way is from im
perfect action of the kidneys. The
second way is from careless local treat
ment of other diseased.
CHIEF CAUSE.
Unhealthy urine from unhealthy
kidneys is the chief cause of bladder
troubles. So the womb, like the blad
der, was created for one purpose, and
if not doctored too much is not liable
to weakness or diseases, except in rare
cases. It is situated back of and very
close to the bladder, therefore any
pain,_ disease or inconvenience mani
fested in the kidneys, back, bladder or
urinary passage is often, by mistake,
attributed to female weakness or womb
trouble of some sort. The error is
easily made and may be as easily
avoided. To find out correctly, set
your urine aside for twenty four hours;
a sediment or settling indicates kidney
or bladder trouble. The mild and ex
traordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp Root, the great kidney, and
bladder remedy, is soon realized. If
you need a medicine you should have
the best. At druggists fifty cents and
I one dollar. You may have a sample
bottle and pamphlet, both sent free
by mail. Mention THE COLUMBIAN
and send your address to Dr. Kilmer
&Co , Binghamton, N. Y. The pro
prietors of this paper guarantee the
genuineness of this offer.

to quit in as good condition as it now
is, reasonable wear and tear excepted.
This lease was 'the result of the
meeting of the Finance Committee,
who authorized the President to exe
cute the same, and it is hereby signed,
sealed and delivered.
James Magee, 2nd, complained of
the sewer on Sixth-Street. He says
it is entirely too small, and that on
one occasion he was compelled to
stop work at the mill, owing to the
water backing in the mill. He stated
that he would hold the town responsi
ble for any damage that might here
after be caused from this source.
The Town Engineer and Street
committee informed the Council that
the above trouble was caused by
waste and not because the sewer was
too small, and that at least a wagon
load of rubbish, wooden paddles had
been taken out of the sewer below the
Magee mill.
On motion ot Gorrey and Rishton
it was ordered that a sump tbe con
structed to catch the waste. The
work giving the same to be under the
supervision of the Town Engineer.
The subject of license for transient
merchants was taken up and it being
ascertained that the Ordinance taxing
such merchants SSO is unlawful and
cannot be enforced, the following was
read :
ORDINANCE NO. 99.
An ordinance to repeal Ordinance
No. 46.
Whereas the Courts of the State of
Pennsylvania have declared that
municipal ordinances requiring a tax
upon transient, retail merchants are
illegal.
Therefore, be it enacted by the
Town of Bloomsburg, and it is here
by enacted by authority of same :
That Ordinance No. 46, entitled,
"An Ordinance to provide for the
licensing of transient retail mer
chants," be,and the same is hereby
repealed.
Attest W. R. KOCHER,
Freeze Quick, Sec. Pres. Town Coun.
On motion of Supplee, seconded by
Hower the ordinance was adopted as
read.
President Kocher stated that the
book merchants paid him $7.50 the
amount of the regular mercantile tax,
but would pay no more.

Did you make your Grain O this way ?
Here are the latest directions :
Use one tablespoonful of Grain-0 to
two cups of cold water. Mix the
Grain-O with half an egg and add the
water. (Be sure to measure.) After
the water gets to the boiling point let
boil for fifteen to twenty minutes.
Use cream and sugar to suit the taste.
If you have not cream use hot milk.
A lady said : "The first time I
drank Grain O I did not like it, but
after using it for ten days and forming
the habit, nothing would induce me
to go back to coffee." This is the
experience of all. If you will follow
directions, measure it every time and
make it the same, and try it for ten
days, you will not go back to coffee.
